Great experience: I got a better outcome than expected for a price I could afford

Careton Matthews was more than helpful on my theft by shoplifting case than I could have ever asked. Mr Matthews was able to have my expedite warrant remove and my case dismissed without me ever having to step into a court room. He was very professional and considerate when it came to my concerns. I... would definitely recommend him as a refferal as well as hire him again if needed. TWO THUMBS UP!

Felony case

I was charged with false statement , forgery 1st degree and identity fraud. Also a warrent was put out for my arrest they also suspended my license. I came into the office of Careton Mathews he told me,He could get the whole case drop . He did exact what he promised, i turned my self in he showed up... for court he made sure i was able to bond out on all charges. He got my license reinstated he got all charges dropped. I would refer him to anyone. He stands by his words and make sure it gets done!!

Great Attorney

I hired Attorney Matthews for a personal injury case; I am satisfied with my settlement. It was all completed in a very professional and attentive manner. It was such a pleasure working with him and his staff as they all are very pleasant and professional. Whenever I have a legal matter, I will al...ways hire Careton Matthews.

BEST IN THE BUSINESS

ATTORNEY MATTHEWS WAS REFERED TO ME B A GOOD FRIEND WHO HE WAS ABLE TO GET HER CASE TROWN OUT. I HIRED HIM BECAUSE MY DAUGHTER WAS FACED WITH A FELONY WHICH HOLDS UP O 10YRS. MR. MATTHEWS WAS ABLE TO HER A BOND WHICH SHE WAS DENIED 2X'S AND PLACED IN A PRE-TRAIL INTERVENTION PROGRAM. KEEP IN MIND HE ...WAS HE 3RD ATTORNEY THAT I HIRED FOR THE JOB. HE WAS ABLE TO PUT ME ON A PMT PLAN FOR HIS FEE WHICH WAS MUCH CHEAPER THAN THE OTHER 2 ATTORNEY. HE IS THE BEST IN THE BUSINESS. HE IS CONFIDENT, AGGRESSIVE AND VERY KNOWLEDGABLE. ATTORNEY MATTHEWS ALWAYS RETURNED MY CALLS OR GOT BACK TO ME IN A TIMELY MANNOR. HE IS THE NEXT JOHNNY COCHRAN. I WAS DEFINETLY PLEASED WITH THE OUTCOME AND WILL REFER HIM TO ANYONE LOOKING FOR JUSTICE. HE IS A BULLDOG IN THE COURT ROOM AND THE BEST IN THE BUSINESS

The best attorney I've meet in Georgia

​​Mr. Careton Matthews took my sons case when no one else would touch the case due to we were going to trial in 48 hours. Not only did he take the case but he worked with me on his fees and was able to get my son 6 months probation instead of the 5 years in prison he was facing. Even after all this..., which was enough for me, he reduced his fees. Mr. Matthews you have restored my faith in the justice system for I was sure my son would be taken away from me for the next 5 years. Words cannot express the thanks or gratitude I have for Mr. Matthews. You’re not only an awesome attorney but an awesome man as well.
